Tacos + Muffins + Orion

Fair warning: this will be a pretty random blog post. :P

What we've been up to lately....

Making muffin tin tacos (AKA Mexican Muffins) for a cocktail party. We dressed up and everything! 

Aren't they cute? They tasted good, too. Taco-seasoned pulled chicken, tomatoes, onion, green pepper, cheese and cilantro.

The weather became pretty amazing at the end of August. 70s during the day. No humidity. Lovely. We couldn't waste it eating indoors, so we headed across the street. Orion came too.

Orion confirmed our suspicions: She really wants a drink! Wine, beer, cocktail... she goes after them all. Here she's licking the cork. (Don't worry, we washed it, plus it's the outside, so there's no wine on it.)

Random shot I took the same day. I really like it.

And proof of how easy-going our dog really is... she lets us get away with almost anything (except clipping her nails). Wrap her up like a baby in a blanket? Sure. Why not. ("I'd move, but I'm just too tired....")

New Post Coming!

Orion says "hi"!  A new post with pictures from our first summer adventures is coming soon!

Craft Corner: Dog Holly Collar

I saw what a cute and easy-looking craft online one day last week, and decided to take some time on Saturday and attempt my own version.  A and I don't like the idea of putting clothes on our dog, but I figured a festive collar would be okay!

'Tis The Season To Be Snowing

When we went to sleep last night, we knew the forecast called for snow.  This morning, I felt like a five-year-old at 5AM on Christmas.  I couldn't wait to pull back to shade and see if the weather people were correct (for once).  This is what we saw:

Clearly, it's been too long since Orion has been featured.  So I give you a sampling of the many faces of Orion.

Smelling the camera (to see if it's edible, of course.)

We Adopted!

A dog, that is!  :)  Her better new name is Orion, and she's an approximately 5-year-old dachshund-beagle-??? mix.  Nobody's sure since she was caught as a stray a little over a year ago.  Her story is special in that she was adopted by her first foster parent, who kept her for a year before losing her job and having to move to a building which doesn't allow dogs.  The foster's daughter took Orion in, and we adopted her about a month later.

She's super sweet, but also super scared of most downtown noises and moving objects.  But hopefully she'll get used to city living over time!
